A few days later.

Hall of the Thrones.

Imperial Minister's Conference Room.

At the long table, in the center of the main door, sat the newly enthroned king, Stannis I.

His unsmiling face was like a dark cloud hanging over him, which was daunting.

On the king's right-hand side, in the first place, sat Melisandre, the red-robed woman.

She is very charismatic and has a sweet and charming smile on her face.

However, in Varys's eyes, Melisandre's smile was even more terrifying than Stannis's black face.

In the first place to the left of the King, sat Eddard Stark, Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and in the morning, Eddard Stark was canonized by the King as Prime Minister for Eternity - a special and supreme honor.

No one can be a prime minister forever, and this title is only about honor.

Eddard Stark sat Davos Seaworth, the acting prime minister's hand.

Varys sat down next to Melisandre, his perfume and powder rubbed more than Melisandre's.

Littlefinger sat next to the octopus, a little far away, as if he was a little disgusted with Varys today.

Ser Barristan Selmy, the captain of the Kingsguard of the late King Robert, is still the current King's Kingsguard, and he finally no longer has to hunt with the King, and attends meetings of the ministers every afternoon.

The Kingsguard, only the captain has this power and honor.

He can express his opinion on any proposal and any matter of government affairs, and he can say whatever he wants, without fear of being taken down and beheaded, which is a special power and duty conferred by the law.

And other important ministers can't do as he wants.

A new face has been added today: Bachelor Pelos.

Pelos was a courteous young man, twenty-four years old, but as serious as a sixty-year-old old-fashioned man. He was like a shadow of King Stannis, with no sense of humor and a lack of energy. For the first time, he sat at the Imperial Conference Table, a little nervous and cramped.

The long-time companion of Stannis's side was named Clison, who was almost eighty years old and kind to Stannis like a father. He was very knowledgeable, and he was the most famous bachelor in the old town, but his health was not good, and a year ago he fell again and broke his hip bone, and he never got completely better, and the old town sent the young bachelor Pelos.

However, this is only a very superficial reason, as an old bachelor who believes in the Seven Gods, he can't accept Stannis's conversion to the Lord of Light, and he has a very deep prejudice against the red-robed woman. When Stannis King's Landing took the Iron Throne, the status of the Red Robe rose even further. Around the most pious queen Selyse gathered a group of noble knights to guard the commoners, all of them converted to the Red God, and the old vassals under Stannis believed in the Red God more and more, so the old man was so angry that he fell completely ill.

Stannis was a stubborn man, and he was unable to persuade him, and he was unable to order that the Creaseian scholars must believe in the Red God, and the decades-long intimacy between the two men was deeply estranged.

Stannis is a person who will not change his mind if he recognizes it, and after the army warship vassals and princesses of Dragonstone arrived in King's Landing, he directly appointed the young man Pylos as the palace master.

Pylos still has a lot to learn, but he has confidence in himself, as he also follows King Stannis in believing in Lahllo, the Lord of Light. With the presence of Melisandre, the red-robed woman, he has more confidence in his heart.

Tomorrow, Eddard Stark will leave King's Landing and return to the North aboard the royal battleship Warhammer.

The Warhammer is named after the Warhammer, a weapon used by King Robert of the Past.

Just three days ago, the army of the western frontier had already burned in the Three Rivers Valley, and the Duke of Tully was caught off guard, losing three battles in a row in one day, and losing more than a dozen castles of vassals, large and small. Large tracts of farmland and vassals' villages were burned to the ground, and men, women, and children, with the exception of Peugeot's women and young girls, who were used as prostitutes, were killed, and their heads were stuck with the tips of guns. The subjects were robbed of all their livestock and food.

Apparently, Duke Tywin was quick to get news of the Coup in King's Landing, and Ravens were sent on the night of the Red Keep Mutiny. It only takes a day and a night for a good raven to get the news to Duke Tywin. It would take ten days to gather an army at the earliest, but Duke Tywin sent a small army of 12 to attack dozens of villages and destroy the farmland in the Riverlands the same night as he received the news of the ravens.

This shows that Duke Tywin's army in the West had actually been assembled before the Coup d'état.

The old lion's outstanding military talent and keen political premonition should not be underestimated.

At the age of seventeen, he became famous in the Seven Kingdoms for his land and naval battles, and at the age of twenty, he was invited by King Aerys to the palace as prime minister because of his prestige in governing the western frontier. He did not become Prime Minister because the King had made James Lannister the Guardian of the Kings without consulting him and resigned on his own accord.

Duke Tywin's twelve-way raid was lightning fast, and at this moment, it stunned the Tully family in Riverrun...... The Tully were unprepared. Beforehand, the various vassals under the family did not get any news from the western border......

In order to gain time, Eddard Stark returned to the north by water on the royal warhammer battleship, the battleship was equipped with six hundred of the best oarsmen, three hundred oarsmen were put in rowing at a time, and two groups of people were rotated, and in the absence of wind, the battleship could return to the north as quickly as possible, and then gather vassals and lead the army south to fight the lion of Tywin Lannister.

The rain has come!

The speed of the lion is faster than anyone in King's Landing could have imagined!

Today is the last meeting of the Ministers that Eddard Stark attends.

The meeting was short and clear, and Stannis was very quick to approve the motion. As long as the political opinion is put forward and everyone expresses their opinions, there is no need to listen to it, as long as he makes a judgment in contemplation, he will make a decision immediately, without any drag.

The Captain of the Iron Guard proposed the formation of a new Kingsguard, which he immediately approved, and asked Barristan himself to submit a list of Iron Guards to him within a day for him to choose.

Davos raised the issue of replacing the mid-level officers of the capital garrison and the golden robes of the garrison, and he immediately instructed all the former mid-level officers of the capital garrison to be transferred and let them form a new army, train for three months, and then go to the Brotherhood of Kings and two other bandit legions on the other side of the Blackwater River. The vacated positions for mid-level officers in the garrison were all filled by outstanding sergeants from the Black Armor Army on Dragonstone Island.

As for the costumes of the gold robes, they were all changed to the uniforms of the black-armored army.

Since then, King's Landing's Golden Robe has completely become history, and the garrison of the Black Armor Army has stepped onto the stage of history.

In the end, the only problem was Melisandre, the red-robed woman, who proposed to demolish the sanctuary in the Red Keep, eradicate the sacred woods, and build a huge temple for the red god Laherlo, which was opposed by all the important ministers, and Stannis ended the heated argument between the two sides with only two words: shelving!

The duration of this meeting was less than one-third of the time of the previous meeting, and Stannis I's handling of government affairs was nothing short of lightning.

Then the meeting dissolved, because Stannis didn't like people who were procrastinating, so everyone even left quickly.

However, when Varys reached the gate, Ser Barristan Selmy stopped him, and Varys turned back to see Stannis, the Red Robe and Eddard Stark, both motionless, watching him.

Stannis's eyes were as cold as ever, Eddard Stark was expressionless, and Miss Melisandre looked at him with affection.

"What's the matter?" Varys laughed.

"Lord Varys, I saw your secret in the flames. The red-robed woman stood up and walked up to Varys, her snow-white and smooth hands gently cupping Varys's pink face, "Your Majesty, please let me sacrifice this traitor to Rahlo, the Lord of Light." ”

"No!" Stannis said, his voice not a little warm, "I'm going to cut off his head myself, and stick the tip of my spear in the gates of the Red Keep, and let the crows peck at the flesh off his face." ”
